Grubhub is committed to making a positive difference in the communities we serve, while empowering our drivers to do the same. To mark our 20th anniversary, we introduced the new driver community grant program in 2024, designed to help delivery partners support nonprofit organizations making meaningful impacts in their local communities.
Thanks to backing from the Grubhub Community Fund, Grubhub and our delivery partners contributed $310k to 56 nonprofits across 25 United States cities. In line with our commitment to community impact, these organizations offer food and meal services, provide workforce development training and initiatives, and run community-based programs designed to help local communities flourish.
